Despite a solid college career at Michigan, one where he displayed a penchant for clutch long-distance shooting, Robinson nevertheless went undrafted in June 2018 and first found his way into the professional ranks via a Summer League contract with the Heat. He parlayed that opportunity into a two-way pact for the 2018-19 season by averaging 12.1 points (on 51.8 percent shooting, including 55.3 percent from three-point range), 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 25.6 minutes over seven games between the California Classic and Las Vegas tournaments. Robinson then continued to light it up in the G League with Sioux Falls, putting up 21.4 points (51.4 percent shooting, including 48.3 percent from three-point range), 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steal across 36.9 minutes over 33 games. He only saw 10.7 minutes per contest across 15 games at the NBA level during his rookie season, but his development continued over seven more games this past summer (16.3 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.0 SPG across 29.5 minutes). That was apparently enough to convince Miami that Robinson was worthy of another extended look this coming season, as his 2019-20 contract became fully guaranteed in mid-July. At 6-foot-8, Robinson is capable of filling either wing spot, which could certainly help his chances for playing time down the line. For the time being, it appears he's set for another extended G League stay during the forthcoming campaign; however, a stellar showing in training camp and preseason could potentially speed up his career progress, especially if Robinson can show promise as a viable source of second-unit scoring for a team that lost Dwyane Wade to retirement.

College/International Summary

Robinson began his collegiate career at Division III powerhouse Williams. He became the first freshman starter in coach Mike Maker's six-year tenure and averaged 17.1 points and 6.5 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 forward hit 45.3 percent of his three-pointers. After the season, Maker left for Marist and Robinson opened up his recruitment, eventually ending up at Michigan. He redshirted for the 2014-15 season. The forward started 27 games in his first season as a Wolverine and took on a bigger than expected offensive role when Caris LeVert was injured. He averaged 11.2 points and connected on 45.0 percent of his three-pointers. Robinson helped Michigan into the second round of the NCAA Tournament with 13 points and 11 rebounds in the win over Tulsa. The forward only started three games as a junior and put up 7.7 points in 20.1 minutes. In his last season with the Wolverines, Robinson became an important player for a team that reached the National Championship game. He started 19 games, mostly in the first half of the season, and averaged 9.2 points. Robinson hit 237 three-pointers in his three years in Ann Arbor to place fourth on the school's all-time list.

ANALYSISRobinson just keeps on shooting, nailing another seven triples Sunday. He's averaging 5.4 made three-pointers over the past two weeks, production that puts him in consideration for a more permanent spot on 12-team rosters rather than just as a one-category streamer. Only James Harden, Damian Lillard and Buddy Hield are averaging more triples per game than Robinson (3.8) for the season.

An undrafted free agent out of Michigan, Robinson spent his first NBA season on a two-way deal with the Heat and their G-League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He played in 15 games for Miami, starting once. Robinson averaged 3.3 points and 1.2 rebounds across 10.7 minutes per outing. Robinson totaled 50 points on 39.1 percent shooting, including 10-of-35 from long range. He tallied season highs across the board with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals in the Heat's last contest of the season, Apr. 10 at Brooklyn. Robinson enjoyed another solid game on Mar. 2, when he registered six points by virtue of 2-of-3 shooting from long range. He averaged 8.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in the three contests in which he logged at least 20 minutes of action. Robinson also scored at least four points on six occasions.
